true. That is true unless you're talk

9
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.320
about the women, unless you're about
the win. I was gonna get the

10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:43.399
ball if you weren't talking about the
wom I was actually gonna go guys first

11
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.560
because their game is first and the
game is later because their game is okay.

12
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.000
But yeah, so the players that
are going to be celebrated, but

13
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:53.200
you're breaking news, tell them,
yeah, tell me the hell get away,

14
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:58.439

players that are being celebrated are gonna

15
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:03.159
be Umar Balo, Pelo, Lars
and Kashaw Johnson, Caleb Love, Grant

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.280
Whiteman Uh and Luke champion as well. So let me ask you five guys

17
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.799
up there. The question was asked
because of the COVID year, they're all

18
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.599
allowed to come back if they want
to. Any one of them coming back.

19
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:26.599
I could see Umar coming back.
Caleb Love's not coming back, Keishad

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.000
is not coming back either. Keisha
is not coming back. Pella. Maybe

21
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.680
I think he's off to get make
money somewhere. Yeah, you met here,

22
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:40.359
I'm gone. I'm going. Yeah, I'm going overseas. I say,

23
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.840
if if I had to pick most
likely with you, I'm with you

24
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.760
there. I don't give it a
big percentage, But I think about maybe

25
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:53.040
who knows we enjoyed coll life.
If he if he uh you know,

26
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.120
does some homework and and and they
and is encouraged to come back, he's

27
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.079
got an nil deal that may is
it financially feasible for him to stay in

28
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:06.599
school another year? Yeah, maybe
he does come back. And for the

29
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.680
women's game at six pm on Saturday, they're going to be celebrating Helena Poyo,

30
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.759
Asmi Martinez and Sali Masu Kuruma.
Those are the three seniors for the

31
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:20.520
women's roster of just seven players.
Anyway, are the seniors uh, tell

32
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.639
them time flis for me? Were
they part of the final fourteen? No,

33
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:27.960
they were the first recruit after the
final four on that team. That's

34
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.360
why I ask. I don't know. And then well, the only one

35
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:34.240
of them who could have been on
the on that team would have been Playo.

36
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.199
And so you'd have to would have
to look up her. And and

37
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.520
I say this because what a great
because she was a freshman in nineteen twenty

38
00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:46.080
twenty thinty Well yeah, twenty nineteen, nineteen nineteen twenty school you got it?

39
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:51.000
Yeah? Sorry, well yeah,
and yeah, and they went to

40
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.319
in the final four year was twenty
twenty one. Yeah, okay, so

41
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.639
twenty was a year that got canceled. I imagine the stories she could tell.

42
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.080
Yeah, being four years of all
the great highs to now not so

43
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.439
lows. But just the way that
things have gone. Well, they didn't

44
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.159
get into the tournament last year.
Yeah, and they're not likely to get

45
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:15.719
into the tournament. This. Don't
you're killing You're killing their mojo, you're

46
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.879
killing their momentum. Don't be doing
that. Yeah. So but she's had,

47
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.520
you know, she's already had what
one, two, three, four,

48
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.319
This is her fifth year already.
Yeah, Okay, so she was

49
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.639
so she's used of all her time, Okay, because you know, she

50
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:36.000
got the one cod It was so
And I agree with him. I felt

51
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.560
the same way. And we talked
about this with the women's team and and

52
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.520
Kevin and I agreed. How inspirational
these these ladies are. They are,

53
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.599
and I you know, I give
it. And I mean, and I

54
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.879
know it's kind of ragging on them
a little bit that they should have won

55
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.280
the damn game. And sure,
you know they know that. You really

56
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.680
have to give it to them that
they you know, the number seven team

57
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.120
in the kind she was here,
they had them by the you know what,

58
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.039
they had their best play all American
players. She didn't have a good

59
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:10.000
night. Yeah, and and they
had him and she would have beat them.

60
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.520
And then they went to two overtimes
and still took it down to the

61
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.280
wire. Had a shot, I
mean a long shot, but had shot

62
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.519
at the end to you know,
to win it. So they didn't,

63
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.480
you know, they didn't get run
over. So yeah, I mean,

64
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:31.480
yeah, okay, look, can
we solve heart? But the n C

65
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.839
double A is actually gonna pause n
I L investigations in the wake of another

66
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.720
courtroom lost for the right, it
means that they're no longer They've told all

67
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:46.560
their I guess quality control people and
and people investigating the boosters and the collectives

68
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.800
to not any longer. Do if
you if you really talked about wild wild

69
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:57.160
West? Yeah, he was a
play Bucks have fun. Yeah. No,

70
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.759
it's it's it's it's absolutely nuts.
I mean they have to do that

71
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.639
right then, and they can't.
Yeah, it's like okay, just stop,

72
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.000
just stop. So yeah, all
right, And then the emotion.

73
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.800
There was a motion file to dismiss
charges against the Iowa state athletes who were

74
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:18.360
suspended for gambling. Remember that big
deal. Well there was dismissed the charges

75
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:24.839
against them for identity theft and fraud. Remember that all the kids who they

76
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:30.360
know they found new evidence that said
that we got to dismiss all the charges.

77
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.160
Really, I don't know what it
was, what it is, It

78
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.399
just a story came out. Now
to me, it was like that to

79
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:39.160
me, you know, when I
read that story, was like they did,

80
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:43.639
but they didn't have another evidence or
something came up that that they're not

81
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.560
going to pursue the charges. You
know, you remember the Duke lacrosse team

82
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.360
story. Believe just how it kind
of ruined everything to a story that wasn't

83
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.800
real. Yeah, yeah, those
guys life were ruined. Well. In

84
00:05:56.839 --> 00:06:00.120
the ESPN article, it says that
the motion contended that the use of the

85
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.079
tracking software was unconstitutional because no warrant
had been ever issued. So that's said

86
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.480
they didn't do it. They're just
saying they can't them up the loop exactly.

87
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.800
Well, is part of the new
evidence. That's the that's like the

88
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.319
whole motion. That's what the motion
has founded on, is that they couldn't

89
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.160
use the tracking data to prove that
it was them because they weren't. They

90
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:24.399
didn't have a warrant for that information. Jay looks unhappy. Well, I

91
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.759
hate that, right, I hate
I hate the technicality piece of it.

92
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.720
But you know, they did it. It's not like they it's not like

93
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.879
they didn't do it. They did
it. But they're being well, we

94
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.519
did it, but you can't catch
just because the X. It's okay,

95
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.639
fine, but you know what though, we but wait, wait a minute,

96
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:46.279
why why do you they can still
suspend them. It's not maybe the

97
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:47.920
criminal charges get dropped, that's what. But they might not didn't get to

98
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.519
play sports. Yeah, and one
of them is plays for the Broncos right

99
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.360
now. And he was he was
suspended for this as well. Okay,

100
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.360
all right, so yeah, like
legally and criminally, they're off the hook

101
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:04.759
profession another fash Okay, the n
c DOUBLEA football rules Committee is going to

102
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:10.160
pitch some new ideas. It can
be approved as soon as mid April for

103
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:15.800
some of those include in helmet communication
between one player on the field and UH

104
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.240
coach and a coach it just like
the NFL does. Just like the NFL,

105
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.519
players are gonna be marked with a
dot on the rack of their home

106
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:24.000
They're gonna do exactly what the NFL
does. They're gonna cut off communication with

107
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:29.240
fifteen seconds left on the play clock
or when the ball is snapped, you

108
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.800
know, one player on offense,
one player on defense. Yeah, it's

109
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.839
gonna be just like the NFL.
That and it's kind of like, okay,

110
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:40.079
it's about time we had the signce
ceiling stuff. And that really kind

111
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.079
of accelerated this. I think,
you know a lot of people worried about

112
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:46.759
the expense. What about Joe Schmoe
little school. Do they have the money

113
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.560
to do this? But they're working. I sound like they're working with a

114
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:51.319
vendor who's going to make it affordable
for everybody. That's good to hear,

115
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.519
because you want to be a level
playing field, and that was the biggest

116
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.439
issue. And again, you know, maybe you get a few more plays

117
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:00.879
in, you know, all kinds
of things. So exactly, there was

118
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:05.279
also a rule posed for the use
of tablets in the game that they would

119
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:07.399
have eighteen tablets between the field,
the sideline, and yeah, the booths

120
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:11.360
up top, and it would only
be able to use game footage, no

121
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:13.839
analytics, no right. And the
thing that I read on that was that

122
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.279
the NFL only allows images, so
you can only have photos. You know,

123
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.120
you can't have video. The n
C double A is going to allow

124
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:28.360
video, but it's only only in
game video. Right. It can be

125
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:33.960
video from the TV broadcast, it
can be video from their own There was

126
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.279
a trial. Yeah they did,
they did. Yeah they did six six

127
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.399
Bowl games they had and they said
it went off without a hitch. But

128
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:43.360
in the NFL, for some reason, they don't allow you to do video,

129
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.960
just pictures. I did not know
that. Yeah, I've read that

130
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.120
when I was reading about this stuff
this morning, which is kind of crazy.

131
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.720
That's interesting. We were talking about
it a little bit Steve. Steve

132
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.720
had an opinion on it, but
Cam Newton came out and said that there

133
00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:58.159
was no excuse for his role in
the little scuffle that well, not just

134
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.600
me, Adam trying to him too. He's just a little different, a

135
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:05.639
little different and and and he's a
big dude too. He took them all

136
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.360
on. Yeah, one hand,
one guy one hand, the other guy.

137
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:13.559
Yeah, don't you know who I
am? But yeah, that's all

138
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:15.919
happened. Well, well, there
was one more rule in that that that

139
00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:18.799
that the n C double A is
UH is proposing, and that's a two

140
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.759
minute warning UH at the end of
the at the end of the half and

141
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.840
at the end of the game,
which would be you know again, look,

142
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:28.159
it works for the NFL, it'll
work for you know, to give

143
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:33.320
him another commercial break. They won't
have, you know, all that kind

144
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:35.840
of stuff. So it's fine.
And you know what two minute warning is

145
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.480
a good time, raced on,
get to the bathroom before the crowd get

146
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:41.919
back. No more, no more
back to back commercials, No more back

147
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.919
to back commercials, that kind of
stuff. So you know, just getting

148
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.080
more towards you know what the NFL
is doing. I mean they're paying him

149
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.320
like the NFL. Now, so
what the hell. So I have a

150
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.399
couple of quick things that you're done. Yeah. So the South Point girls

151
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.639
team won the state title last night. There the second or third in the

152
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.159
state the last couple of years.
We'll have them on next week. I

153
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.000
will try to get them with the
coach Joe, and then your your team,

154
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:15.080
Cougar overtime, overtime, great performance
though they lost, great performance,

155
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.399
And I'm the I'm the I'm the
I think we can put titles on this

156
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919
Steve. I'm tired of losing.
Man, I want to win a game.

157
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:28.200
I want to win a game that
matters. You're a good zalees many

158
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.360
of those. Man, you're the
case. She's already forgotten. KOD means

159
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.320
kiss of death. That is true. He hasn't used it in a couple

160
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:41.919
of weeks, and you might have
actually forgotten. Yeah. Once you're giving

161
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.039
a nickname. I know, I
know, I know, but you no.

162
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:50.799
Congratulations girls who won their who won
their state championship. Let's take this.

163
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.360
Hi, you're on the air and
eye on the ball. Hey,

164
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.279
what's going on? Gentlemen? Normally
I want to talk to you of a

165
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.759
but I notice you're talking of football. Can you, gentlemen, help break

166
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:01.960
this down for me. I'm a
Miami the LS fan. Did what's going

167
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.960
on with Tyreek Hill? Though he
scrimmaged a woman and broke her leg?

168
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.799
Orright, she's a bigger girl,
I see. But the whole thing sounds

169
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.360
crazy. Man, our breaking news
guy is going to fill you in on

170
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.240
that. I don't know. I
don't know much about it. It seems

171
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.480
like there was some sort of like
backyard like do you know much about it?

172
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.320
They seem like there's like a backyard
football situation at like a gathering and

173
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.320
and he broke the lady's leg.
He's a large man made of all muscle,

174
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.600
and I'm sure so she's suing him? Is that correct? I don't

175
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.000
know much about it. From what
I saw, she's bigger than he is.

176
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.120
So, I mean, it makes
me sad because they bring Tyreek ann

177
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.360
and guess what, the Chiefs win
two Super Bowls. We haven't won a

178
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.679
playoff game. Man, that was
messing stuff up. You didn't they look

179
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:46.559
so great this year until he didn't. Okay, you're right to was a

180
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.879
whole other subject. I just wanted
to see if you guys had to sing

181
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.440
man because he's diva wide receivers every
receiver seems like they're a diva. And

182
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:58.879
what's your names? I said what
I've been saying all this time, those

183
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.000
wide receivers a bunch of deva.
Was to expect them to throw me the

184
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.120
ball. I can make it.
Shut up, just catch the ball and

185
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:07.879
be quiet. Didn't know Keishawan said, just throw me the ball. That

186
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.399
was his book. There's a new
one. Just shut up and catch the

187
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:16.000
ball, all right, And I'm
not I'm not saying this didn't happen,

188
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.240
okay, but I'm looking. I've
called up to Miami Herald's story on this.

189
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:24.519
She's a social media influencer with two
million followers, so you know she's

190
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.240
doing her job. Opportunity and the
crutches to crutches. There you go,

191
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.519
Thanks for listening to me. He's
been fathering all those babies, so that's

192
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.080
not a good look in his house. And his house almost burnt down this

193
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:46.120
year. Crazy years for college.
I hadn't seen this. Yeah, the

194
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.440
man's house almost burnt down. All
that stuff there was like a fake.

195
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.000
The worst story coming out about him
that was real. Poor I was trying

196
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:56.279
to displace them, and then he
got something got fired in the social media

197
00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:01.639
guys he's paying for his that they
work together on content. And then he

198
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:03.600
brought him to the NFL game.
Uh huh. And when he used the

199
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.000
phone and for a background, that
fired him and banned him from all games.

200
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.840
That's not fair like that. He's
trying to earn a wage. So

201
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:13.600
how about you the guy he paid
his whole salary and I think they still

202
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.960
do videos. Okay, so he's
still employed. Yeah, he's still okay,

203
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.120
just not by the NFL. No, I think he got his credentials

204
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.399
back. He might have, but
I don't think he did. Okay,

205
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.399
drama, drama. Drama is always
and it's always like, okay, just

206
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:31.279
go because I know that Bruce is
a busy, busy Okay, we'll get

207
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.440
him on and get him on for

I on the Ball hero Fox Sports fourteen

278
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.960
fifty. I'm Steve Rivera. He's
Jacob Sauce. Now on the phone,

279
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.160
we have Bruce Pasco from the Arizona
Daily Star. Bruce, how are you

280
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.880
doing pretty good? Are you good? We're doing fine. I know you're

281
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:45.160
a busy, busy guy getting ready
for tomorrow's game Senior Day. You had

282
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:52.240
a chance to talk to all five
today. Anything strike you, Um No,

283
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.119
not really. I mean that's pretty
consistent with what those guys have been

284
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:59.440
like instead all season. I mean
they all seem appreciative in their own ways

285
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:03.799
about the or two they got here, and you know, it's a little

286
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.359
tough talking to him at the same
time, and you know, happened to

287
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.640
go one by one or whatever.
But but you know, I think I

288
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:11.359
think there's some sincerity there. They
all have kind of different stories, and

289
00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:15.839
I think Tommy Lloyd said the other
day that it's kind of a modern day

290
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.440
senior class, and that's very true. I mean, you know, you

291
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.960
got two guys who one grad transfer, another guy who came in after one

292
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:25.559
year some you know, for just
one you know, probably one year of

293
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:30.000
Caleb g Love and then Tell Larson
and Lumar Ballo three years. And then

294
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.960
Grant Whiteman, who's the only guy
those five who actually started his career here

295
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:37.720
and he's from two son. Of
course, it's just kind of really interesting

296
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.559
bunch of guys. So Steve and
I were kicking around who would be the

297
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:47.480
most likely one who might stick around
of those guys. We unanimously the two

298
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.480
of us agreed that if somebody stuck
around and might be Umar Bellow. But

299
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:55.160
yeah, you like to think anybody, what are your thoughts on that?

300
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.960
Yeah, No, I agree under
present, I think he's the most likely.

301
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.839
I mean he I asked him a
couple of weeks ago and he said,

302
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.599
I don't know, you know,
and he may not, but the

303
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.599
fact is that you know, most
We've seen this many times in the last

304
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.240
couple of years, especially since NIL
has really turned up. You know,

305
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:19.279
this bigot or whatever that these big
guys who aren't super versatile, big guys,

306
00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:23.440
but they're great college players come back
and they come back because they're not

307
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:27.599
wanted in the NBA at least with
their current skill set, and they're getting

308
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.119
pretty good in IL money six figure
and IL money to come back. And

309
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.920
you know that's happened to Timmy Oscar
she Way. Allegedly you've got a million

310
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:41.599
dollars or something or more at Kentucky, Zachya, he got a heck of

311
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.799
a lot apparently, you know,
it sounds like it Purdue he's alluded,

312
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.359
but I think he's alluded to something
like it was better than the two way

313
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.039
deal. And two way deals pay
five hundred thousand, So you know,

314
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:55.960
I mean, if if if NIL
deals are five hundred thousand, then and

315
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.319
you're not even sure you're going to
get it to a two way deal,

316
00:20:57.359 --> 00:21:00.200
why not go back to college and
and be you know, you know,

317
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:04.240
and get better and have have a
good time and and get paid. So

318
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:08.880
I think that's it's just such a
weird, it's it's a different dynamic.

319
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.160
Now I should that's where it's at. I should have google this. But

320
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:17.839
so what's the what's the clarification on
international players with ni L. Well,

321
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.880
it's still it's still tricky. I
mean, I saw something the other day

322
00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.759
where uh nefal A Dante, the
big guy from Oregon, where the Oregon

323
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.480
the Oregon one of the organ he
was talking about how he's building his Mama

324
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.519
home and Malli with money he's made
from nil and it's that he went back

325
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:36.480
to Mali to make it, which
is which is one way to do it,

326
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.839
because the rule is if you're on
an F one student visa, uh

327
00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:45.359
that you can't take a job away
from an American student that pays. So

328
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:51.319
so that's why typically the international guys
don't do autograph scients and things like that

329
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:56.319
that are maybe considered jobs or something
you know like that. But the workaround

330
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.880
everyone's found is that you can have
these collectives and uh and and be it

331
00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:04.319
a membership thing where they're not required
quote unquote to go to these things,

332
00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:10.319
but they they have memberships for people
to donate into the collection, and then

333
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:14.559
the collective will hold like a top
golf event or something and invite the players

334
00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:17.160
to show up and meet and greet, you know, and they don't have

335
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:18.720
to do that. So then that's
how they can kind of say, you

336
00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:22.759
know, it's not it's not taking
a job away from an own because nobody's

337
00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:26.359
making him do it, and then
they get paid as part of that that,

338
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.559
you know, that feet and I
believe that's a lot of how a

339
00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.240
lot of places are going around.
And then the other ways, like like

340
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.519
Dante did and and some others have
done, you go back to your home

341
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:38.680
country and while you're in that home
country, you do something and then they

342
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:41.960
pay you. And in fact,
Kirkriesa when he went to West Virginia,

343
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:48.119
there was shortly after that there was
a video of him in Estonia talking about

344
00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:49.880
blah blah blah and West Virginia hoops
and all that, and you know,

345
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.160
I don't know, I don't know, but I just wondered this that maybe

346
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:56.359
that was a creative way to get
some anile to him. I don't know.

347
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.240
There's always there's always a way,
right yeah. Yeah, and now

348
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:04.279
all the NIL rules are off,
but this is not that's not do with

349
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:08.839
NC double as anyway. So yeah, so so going into tomorrow, you

350
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:12.240
know, I know, Arizona fans
are nervous. You know, you lose

351
00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:15.640
one game, you might be out
out of the number one seed and all

352
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.799
that kind of stuff, you might
not win the league. How important do

353
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.119
these guys think winning the league is
a say, guy like Caleb Love has

354
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:26.160
been in the ACC or you know, Keisha Johnson who went to the Final

355
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.519
four last year with San Diego State. How much are they playing for the

356
00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:33.559
championship? Any sense of that.
It's hard to get a sense that.

357
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.720
I think that they I mean,
I know it means a lot to Tommy

358
00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:41.720
Lloyd. He's talked a lot about
that. He's you know, we've seen

359
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:45.400
it a couple of times this year
where it comes out that they've been talking

360
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.359
behind the scenes a lot about the
tradition and the pride culture blah blah blah

361
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:53.319
Arizona basketball. And I think one
thing they've really been pushing this year is

362
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.720
is that this is the last year
of the Pac twelve, that they're going

363
00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.920
to be in it any way,
and they want to go out with the

364
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:02.240
championship. I know that the staff's
preference. I mean, the guys,

365
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:04.480
I think they do, but you
know, I think it's you know,

366
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:08.160
I mean college basketball is defined by
the postseason and we all know that,

367
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.440
and you know, I think they
know that. You know, they know

368
00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.400
how far they going to tournament,
what they do in the tournament is ultimately

369
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.200
going to be how they're judged,
not whether they win the Pac twelve tournament.

370
00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:19.839
And that's you know, it's it's
kind of weird to say that,

371
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.480
because when you win the Pac twelve, it's, you know, it's ten

372
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.680
weeks or whatever of hard work and
then you get in the tournament, you

373
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.880
get hot for a few games,
and everybody's as, Wow, that's the

374
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.039
lead a team or whatever. You
know, that's the way college basketball is.

375
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:34.519
So I think there's that, but
you know, and I think in

376
00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.799
the back of these guys' minds,
I mean, they're all, you know,

377
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.039
like any college student trying to aim
for a career. They're trying to

378
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.720
be in the NBA, and I
think that's also what they're doing. But

379
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.119
it's just it's always it's a it
seems to be a pretty good mix this

380
00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.720
year, balancing those individual you know, agendas or desires with a pretty good

381
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.920
team fabric. And part of that
team fabric is trying to win the league.

382
00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:00.319
So yeah, I mean to answer
your question in along way. I

383
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:03.440
guess I'd say it does mean something
to him, but I'm not sure it's

384
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:10.039
everything necessarily. So is there any
chance that Caleb Love does not win the

385
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.680
Conference Player of the Year? You
know, I thought maybe, I think

386
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:18.839
if Arizona wins the conference, especially
outright, I can't see how he doesn't

387
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.160
win it. But I think if
it's tied or they don't win it,

388
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:26.160
then maybe you give it to Caleb
kJ Simptoms because he's just sent out standing

389
00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:32.319
for Colorado and if he can lift
Colorado into maybe a third or second place

390
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:34.480
finish here, you know. But
you guys know it's it's voted on the

391
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:37.039
coaches, and so you have to
kind of put your coach hat on or

392
00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:41.519
whatever and think like they do.
And they they usually reward the best player

393
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:45.759
on the team that wins, unless
it's unless it's uh, you know,

394
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.920
fractured and or there's somebody outstanding in
the in the two, three, four,

395
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:53.200
five spots or whatever, and that
that is kJ Simpson probably this year.

396
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.640
But but Love is, you know, his numbers have been really really

397
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.240
good, so it's hard hard to
imagine. I mean, he I say

398
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.480
that, and he could win it. Anyway, But I think certainly if

399
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:04.920
Arizona wins the league, that's got
to be him. Yeah, And you

400
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.799
know, and I mean we over
here, we get so tired of the

401
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.359
well you're you're good, You're supposed
to be good, so we're going to

402
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.319
give it to this guy over here. You know, the number of times

403
00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:17.960
that Luke should have won Coach of
the Year and didn't. Let's go those

404
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.799
kinds of things. Of the year, Well, coach. Coach of the

405
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.920
year is different. I think coach
of the year. And I don't know

406
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:29.480
why, because you could that seems
to be the biggest example that Jay was.

407
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:33.759
Like coach of the year, it's
almost always not necessarily the best overall

408
00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:38.160
coach. But the guy who overachieved
with relative expectations, which is this year,

409
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.839
is Kyle Smith. Now granted,
and he's a very good coach as

410
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:45.559
well. But you know, but
you could argue that that Tommy Lloyd got

411
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:48.400
as you know, as much out
of I mean, he lost four starters,

412
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.880
I mean, you know, and
he's still is still doing what they're

413
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:56.319
doing, so there's a lot of
arguments for him as well. Yeah,

414
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:02.000
no, I hear you, all
right, So Oregon's coming in you know,

415
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:03.200
they're one of those teams a year
and and you're out. You never

416
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.039
know what to make of them.
They get to the end of the year,

417
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.240
they're playing really I mean, what
do you what are we going to

418
00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:11.319
see tomorrow? Jeez, I don't
know. I mean, I I was

419
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:18.000
not I was a little I wasn't
surprised they won at Oregon and last month

420
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:25.640
because uh, you know, because
they had lost frinkly on Thursday that week

421
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.640
to Oregon State and they they always
come back really strong. But I was

422
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:33.599
surprised that's the way they beat them, just so thoroughly. And up there

423
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.119
they lost six in the row to
Oregon. So you know, now it

424
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:40.799
comes down here and you know,
I mean, they should be they should

425
00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:42.599
be okay, but Oregon is they're
a scary team. They're playing a little

426
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:45.759
bit better. They've gotten their guys
healthy now. They've had a lot of

427
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.720
injury problems and other things going on
this year, and they seem like they've

428
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:53.839
gotten past that, although they still
you know, they think they uh they

429
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.160
had a dud against Cal last week
and then but you know, that's just

430
00:27:57.240 --> 00:28:00.640
kind of a little puzzling. I'm
not You're never really sure what you're going

431
00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:06.079
to get. But generally speaking,
they're better later in the season and scary

432
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:07.640
and they they've won, they won
several times here, not for a few

433
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:14.079
years now, but you know they've
got veteran guys. They've got you know,

434
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:19.480
Daunte and Jermaine Queisnardi's just you know, destroyed Arizona at Eugene last year.

435
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.920
That you know, those guys are
confident playing against them, and I'm

436
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.519
sure they're upset about the way things
went down. And also, you know,

437
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:27.480
we say this about Arizona, Yeah, they could be one, they

438
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:30.400
could be two. I mean,
bottom line is, they're gonna be fine.

439
00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:33.880
But Oregon really really needs this game. So if that matters at all,

440
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:37.599
you got to give the edge to
Oregon in that sense that they need

441
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:40.160
to win if they're going to have
a chance at in that large bid and

442
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.519
and certainly if they're going to stay
in the race of the league championship.

443
00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:47.480
Let me ask you a question,
Uh so you cover the team closely,

444
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:52.640
who's the most important or not important? I'm sorry, who's the most beloved

445
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.880
player right now on this team?
Who would you think this like the Josh

446
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.920
Passner or the TJ. McConnell that
the fans just truly adore, you don't

447
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.880
know, obviously doesn't have to be
a starter, But is there is there

448
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:07.240
one? I don't really get a
sense that there's one. Well, yeah,

449
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:10.880
I mean, you know, part
of that is just yeah, I

450
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:15.880
would say probably bollow because he is
so publicly appreciative of everything he gets.

451
00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.599
He's always crediting the fans. He's
a very modest, soft spoken guy.

452
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:23.400
He's very likable, and he's been
you know, and I think you know,

453
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:26.839
you've seen this both of guys that
like, you know, it's the

454
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:30.000
guys who stick around tend to be
more popular because fans get to know him.

455
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.319
And I think Tell Larson too a
little bit. But i'd say,

456
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:36.079
you know, both those guys.
But but Ballow, you know, I

457
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:41.079
think he maybe you know, resonates
a little bit more just overall, and

458
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.200
and you know, just judging by
some of the you know, you go

459
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.920
back to like the Red Blue game, you can usually judge popularity by the

460
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:49.960
loudness of the applause and I think
he I think he had the most in

461
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:53.759
that one too, So it's not
a clear cut thing. Yeah, you're

462
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:57.319
right about that, And I think
you know, Grant Whiteman's a local kid.

463
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.319
I think a lot of people,
like I don't think he get out

464
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.079
there much, so people don't see
him much. But you know, I

465
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:07.079
think I think, you know,
fans that follow the team closely have a

466
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.480
strong feeling from him because he's a
local kid, a really good player.

467
00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:14.720
Actually led his high school team,
helped leading high school team to South Point

468
00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:18.680
to the state title. And you
know, he's got a lineage there.

469
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.640
His grandpa was litt Olsen's friends,
all that kind of stuff. There's just

470
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:23.079
you know, there's a lot of
a lot of ties between him and the

471
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:27.039
program too. And maybe just another
nod one, who's the most frush Who

472
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:32.039
do you think that the fans is
the most frustrating player? That's a loading

473
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:37.680
question. What do you mean like
on the court or on the on the

474
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:41.799
court on the court, because there's
too many. But that's also so sometimes

475
00:30:41.799 --> 00:30:42.839
that like I would say, just
up the top of my head, I

476
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:47.799
would say common bosse, everybody does, well, you know, he should

477
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:49.039
be this, he should be that, you know, And then there's the

478
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:52.400
other side. He's eighteen, Okay, yeah, we all know that.

479
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.240
But you know the fact is that
he did get he did come in with

480
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.440
a lot of expectations on him and
he's the point guard at the University of

481
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:00.359
Arizona. I mean like that,
and like I mean, look at for

482
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:04.000
Cresa, I mean like they were
saying this about Boswell and like for Creesa

483
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:07.720
was probably five times a lightning rod, that kind of Boswell is this year.

484
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.359
You know, it's just it's it's
a hard position to be in.

485
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:14.599
And you know, he came in
as a you know, a guy who

486
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.440
would have been McDonald's if he wasn't
hurt, you know, as a after

487
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:21.920
his junior in high school and and
you know, five star blah blah blah,

488
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:23.599
and so you know, relative expectations, and yeah, he's been up

489
00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:26.680
and down, but you know he's
still he's still really good, and he's

490
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.799
still they still they still believe in
him, all that kind of stuff.

491
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.880
So you know, we want relative
to that, Yeah, we want to

492
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:36.160
let you go. So one more
question, because I was at the game

493
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:40.960
with you at an issue and Tommy
even made this reference with with Caleb Glove

494
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.279
talking about his shots. No,
no, no, okay, good shot,

495
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:45.319
you know what I'm saying, And
he's talked about that with him.

496
00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.519
Did you find that interesting. Yeah, well, you know, I mean

497
00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:53.279
that's kind of been the whole story
with him and he you know, right,

498
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.359
I mean I think it was that
that that three pointer he hit in

499
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.559
a wide open one. I think
he was is that are you talking about?

500
00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.000
Yeah, he had a long three
against I think I think I think

501
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.240
Lloyd was worried, you know,
because if he missed it, it was,

502
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:10.880
you know, gonna be you know, definitely, uh, they weren't

503
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:14.680
gonna be able to rebound it and
that would give the airs, you a

504
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:19.599
break or whatever. But yeah,
I mean and maybe you know, maybe

505
00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:23.160
he's seen loving situations where he knows
he's button up cleaner or whatever more.

506
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:27.400
But I don't know that that was
a weird comment. But I mean,

507
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.200
the whole, the whole story of
his season has been his shooting and his

508
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:32.759
shot selection, and it has nottably
better than it was last year. It's

509
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:37.480
notably better than his expectations were.
Whether it's the level that he wants and

510
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:39.319
Lloyd wants, I don't know,
but it's but he's been, you know,

511
00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:44.039
overall, you know, pretty effective
for them. So you know that

512
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:46.559
was on Okay, Okay, thanks
Bruce, get back to work and are

513
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:52.039
you're busy. Yeah, appreciate you, thanks much, Bruce, Bruce pasco

514
00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:58.960
is it I do not miss that? No, I did not miss the

515
00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:01.519
work, you know, every day
and having to go to that press conference

516

519

589
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.360

pisses me off, and I go,

590
00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:17.880
we all, we all know the
the fairness, uninherent unfairness of our judicial

591

system, for particularly as it relates
to minorities. But this is bull crap.

592

this guy nearly killed the little girl,

593
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:31.119
and and and what the what what
the the spokesman for the governor said

594
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:36.880
is that he spent more time in
prison than most individuals committed of a convicted

595
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:40.800
of similar offenses. That is the
biggest load of crap. Ever, that's

596
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:45.079
just that just can't be didn't have
any response from the families, No,

597
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.079
because this place is still initially.
This is just initial. The guy blows

598
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:53.679
up a point one one three,
which you know, point eight is the

599
00:38:53.519 --> 00:39:00.320
is the is the legal legal limit? He goes point point one one three

600
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:04.639
is a lot. I once did
a for for a story, h a

601
00:39:04.639 --> 00:39:07.280
newspaper story back when I was covering
cops, and they took us out to

602
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:12.360
Marana High School and we did a
driving test. Then we went into a

603
00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:15.320
motor home and got they got me
and and remember I don't know if you

604
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:19.760
were here with Nina trace Off,
me and Nina trace Off and one other

605
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:22.679
one other report I can't remember who
it was. And they got his hammered.

606
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:24.559
Okay, you know we were there
with the chef's department and he got

607
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:28.920
his hammered. And then so we
got there before school started and they all,

608
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:30.199
you know, all the kids came
out and we said hi, and

609
00:39:30.199 --> 00:39:32.599
we did these driving tests. They
went to school, and then when they

610
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:36.599
got out of three o'clock, they
came back out and we were in the

611
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:40.360
parking lot and we've been drinking all
day. I only blew a point eight

612
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:44.280
eight and at that time the legal
limit was point one. Oh. I

613
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:46.880
didn't even get to the legal limit. And I got behind the wheel of

614
00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:51.480
a car and it was like it
was stupid. I mean, there's a

615
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:53.760
there's a really there's a picture that
ran with the story. It showed me

616
00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:58.519
just running right over some of the
cones, all right, I mean just

617
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:00.760
ran right over the cones. I
mean I was and I hadn't even gotten

618
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:08.400
to the league limit yet. What
what happened? You people don't know how

619
00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:12.800
hammered you need to be to be
a point one one three. That's that

620
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.159
was my first thought when I read
the story, I was like, one

621
00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:17.800
one, yeah, I mean,
you have to be really, really drunk,

622
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:22.679
especially if I'm sure he's a big
dude, right I was a football

623
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.000
player at some point. Or if
not, I mean, if it's anything

624
00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:28.840
like his dad, he's a big
dude. Okay. To get to be

625
00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:32.039
that big and get to a point
one one three means you had a pound

626
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:37.159
for a long period of time.
And and he does that and he's out

627
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.400
of jail and you know, in
a little over a year. I'm surprised

628
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:43.920
that the total sentence was two and
a half years. Had to be to

629
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:46.400
an aver that Stephens still because they
gave him all. They gave the family

630
00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:51.360
all this money and think that fixes
it, right then they're paying for her

631
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.960
medical and stuff like that. But
about I'd be pissed. You know,

632
00:40:55.800 --> 00:41:00.360
there's nothing fair in the world.
You word, if if Andy Reid was

633
00:41:01.639 --> 00:41:06.400
a great dad, okay, I
would expect him to when they when the

634
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:08.320
kid, when he walks out of
the prison to walk up to him,

635
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:13.119
grab him by the shirt collar and
just start slapping the hell out of him,

636
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:15.199
kick him to the ground, kick
him in the side. He's not

637
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:19.639
hispanic. The have you've seen the
memes on Facebook. We're talking about the

638
00:41:19.679 --> 00:41:22.719
mom yelling at him, and then
if they were Anglo they would be totally

639
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:24.400
different. No, no, no, you want to you want to sandal

640
00:41:24.440 --> 00:41:30.599
throw him at him? Right belt
or the belt or the belt? Yeah,

641
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:34.679
that's ye. Beat the hell out
of the dude. Yeah, it's

642
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.239
unfortunate, unfortunate, it's our Kim
is a shock to me too. A

643
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:39.719
year and a half at the most, and then the rest of the year

644
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:42.719
and a half. Yeah, I
was. I was trying to find,

645
00:41:42.760 --> 00:41:46.000
like what the average sentence for his
type of charge in Missouria. It should

646
00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:49.199
have been more than that to find
it. But I did find in Arizona,

647
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:52.320
if you had like some sort of
d u y incident with a crash,

648
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:55.239
you could be in jelf for anywhere
from like four to twelve years.

649
00:41:55.400 --> 00:42:00.239
Yes, and that's without a that's
without a injury. That's like, yeah,

650
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:06.000
yeah, I can. Okay,
I'm sorry, you're still mad,

651
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:10.239
you invented, You're okay? Feel
better? Shoulders? You guys want to

652
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:14.800
talk about some positive news, Go
ahead, I forgot give us something to

653
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:19.039
go. Oh yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, you guys about that.

654
00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:21.800
Yeah, going into the basketball Ring
of Honor because he was a great

655
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:25.840
baseball player. I love that.
So so you did you read you were

656
00:42:25.840 --> 00:42:29.519
at one hundred things every fan needs
to do. You have it, I'm

657
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:32.719
sure. So him and Lute never
they had a good relationship, but it

658
00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:37.679
was it was a contentious relationship because
Kenny wanted to play. He wanted to

659
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:39.199
play more than what he played,
and he wanted to play a different game.

660
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:44.639
And Luke said, no, they
ain't gonna work here. But obviously

661
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:46.079
he was very talented. Heck of
a basketball player, a heck of a

662
00:42:46.079 --> 00:42:51.280
baseball player, obviously, but lut
and to this day, I remember Luke.

663
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:54.599
Remember Luke telling me, Kenny,
I think everything turned out right for

664
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:59.239
you. You didn't have this.
You can stop complaining. You know you

665
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.760
want more time. You turned out
Okay, that is true. That's funny,

666
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:05.559
That is funny. But I love
Kenny. He was. He was

667
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:07.920
so funny and another quiet dude.
Though he didn't really similuch did he know

668
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:12.599
around the guys. He did around
the guys, he did like he First

669
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:14.960
of all, he was the guy
who cut the other guy's hair. So

670
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:16.440
you'd see him, Yeah, you'd
see him at the like at the hotel

671
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:20.800
room. You know when traveled with
him and he was he was the dude

672
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.000
that did all the haircuts. No, he was very he was very animated

673
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:28.679
around around the other guys. Let's
take this call. Hi, are on

674
00:43:28.760 --> 00:43:34.079
the air and Eye on the ball. Hey it's James. James. Yeah,

675
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:36.599
I just want to get my shout
out to the women's basketball. They

676
00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:39.119
put on a great effort yesterday and
it sucks that ain't pull it off,

677
00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:42.880
but they played it hard and it
was fun to watch. Did you go,

678
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:46.320
yes, you were? What was
this crowd? Seventy five eight thousand?

679
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:51.480
I think they showed it was like
forty or seventy four or so.

680
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.159
It was a good chice crowd.
Yeah, I just on the radio.

681
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:59.639
Sounded sounded pretty pretty good. Uh
is there? What do you think about

682
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:04.639
the job that she's done this year? I'd say the second half of the

683
00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:09.360
year, she's done a tremendous job. Yeah, I mean yeah, I

684
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:13.000
mean you do have to give her
credit for that. But on the other

685
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.119
hand, you know, how do
they get to this point with that?

686
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:19.239
You know, just so few players, So that's gotta be a it's hard

687
00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.239
to figure out what you know what
to think there? Well, I feel

688
00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:27.079
now the chemistry is really good.
I think the players are wanting to give

689
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:32.480
the full effort, and I'm excited
about Senior Night tomorrow and sending off Helena

690
00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:37.239
with a win on Senior Night and
giving a cascade to the NCAA tournament and

691
00:44:37.320 --> 00:44:40.079
hopefully making a deep run. All
right, man, Oh, we'll see

692
00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:45.159
if they do. They had it
last night, but maybe they come back

693
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:47.360
and finish it tomorrow. So James, are you going to the PAC twelve

694
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:52.039
tournament, either men's or women Unfortunately
I'm not going to make the women's,

695
00:44:52.039 --> 00:44:54.480
but I am going to men's.
Okay, yeah, because I think we

696
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:59.719
saw you there two years ago with
us you came to visit. Yeah.

697
00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.719
I think that I worked out for
the d YU game when I stopped football

698
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:07.760
football things. Okay, I get
it. Okay, James, thank you,

699
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:10.760
Thanks James, right, you got
to take care it all runs together.

700
00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:16.159
I don't remember that you reach your
name and that's too funny. So

701
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:19.159
good good. Good for Kana Lofton. I mean, I you know,

702
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.000
he look and he was he at
that he was one of the most exciting

703
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:27.239
players. And if you want to
talk about just in terms of just an

704
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:30.840
exciting player, only Seawan Elliott was
you know what was more than that?

705
00:45:31.199 --> 00:45:34.840
You know, I mean he I
mean he was five eleven and could dunk

706
00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:38.119
with no effort. So so in
along those lines, because you covered that

707
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:43.199
guy. Uh and I didn't cover
this guy, but lou who's the most

708
00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:49.639
athletic guy player that said played for
him during his time athletic? Oh oh,

709
00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:52.320
this is a trick question. It
is a trick. It's not Sean

710
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:57.880
Elliot. It's not Sean Elliott most
athletic. Well, certainly not Tom Tobert

711
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:04.199
good point, he was not on
the list, not at Stokes. No,

712
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:07.320
No, let's take this car.
Hi, you're on the air and

713
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.079
on the ball. Hey, guys, how's it going? What's the power?

714
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:15.719
Hey? So when that story happened, what sixty nine months ago or

715
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:19.880
a year more than any rething?
It was in twenty twenty two? It

716
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:21.960
was it was it was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was late

717
00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:27.599
twenty twenty two, right, And
did you know that earlier like five years

718
00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:34.920
ago? The uh, they were
rampant drug drugs in Randy reids Hot because

719
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.320
of these same kids. He's got
two sons. Oh really, it's like

720
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:43.519
a den of iniquity. Do you
remember that? No, seriously, I

721
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:46.440
believe you. I believe you.
I hear. Yeah. It's like,

722
00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:52.559
obviously the wife had a big job, she's pretty and everything, but he

723
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:57.400
needs to be the dad to set
some rules down because he's obviously never home,

724
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:01.159
he's so dedicated. Yeah again,
I just think. I just think

725
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:05.880
the kid needs to be slapped around
a bunch. The den of iniquity,

726
00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:08.280
that's what they said, the drug
pair for everything, it was the worst.

727
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:13.000
It's funny is that term because my
mom my mom used to call the

728
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:17.239
house where my brothers lived. She
called it that the drugs, But they

729
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.599
never had the drugs. They didn't
do the drugs. Needs kids sad they

730
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:25.400
didn't do. You're funny. Oh
one more thing. I just read that

731
00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:31.119
both Beal, mainly Beal because the
Cave loved you know, he played on

732
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:38.119
one of Beal's where he was a
counselor on the AAU team. Bradley Beal's

733
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:43.840
sons Oh okay, Oh are okay? And then of course Kevin Durant.

734
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.920
They're both big fans of Caleb Bluff, are they. He's going to play

735
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:52.280
somewhere, I'm sure and well,
but they haven't picked the eighty eighth.

736
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:54.079
I think if he does really good
in the tournament because I think he's going

737
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:59.920
to be fifty percent ready, that
more ready than at least fifty or six

738
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:04.760
fifty of the draft picks going out. I think he's good and he'll make

739
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:08.320
a pro team, and if I
guess as far as they go, his

740
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:12.840
stock will go way up in the
tournament. All right, Howard, thanks

741
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:15.760
so much, man, you will
see guys. Thank you. You know,

742
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.480
he just can't pull an Alonso tree. I just don't think that he

743
00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:22.760
will. Will I No, no, I don't think he will make it.

744
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:28.679
Everythink I'm making an NBA Why not. Uh, he's he's a little

745
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:35.239
trier like, but he's got he
can shoot the end and that and that's

746
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:38.480
all he's got. But not true
to me. Yeah, he can handle

747
00:48:38.519 --> 00:48:40.719
the ball, sure, but he's
he's used to having the ball in his

748
00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:44.719
hand and all the time. That's
not what the NBA is about anymore.

749
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:47.039
It's about you know, equals,
not equal distribution. But it's passing,

750
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:50.880
finding the open man. That's why
this team looks so good. I think

751
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:52.760
we were talked about that, finding
the When the ball finds the open man,

752
00:48:53.199 --> 00:49:00.000
this team is fantastic, and not
just with him or Bradley. Okay,

753
00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:02.119
what would you consider making it just
being on a team. Yeah,

754
00:49:02.679 --> 00:49:06.760
for a certain amount of time.
How many years? No? One year?

755
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:08.199
If he makes it for a year, he's on the team. Not

756
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:12.360
to your point, but if you
were to say, okay, he made

757
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:15.639
it in the NBA, he made
he spends at least one year in the

758
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:20.000
in the league. Okay, Trier, Trier made it, but he didn't

759
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:22.599
make it. You know, he
signed because because we I mean, out

760
00:49:22.599 --> 00:49:25.599
of consider tear having made it in
the NBA. Then he got a cup

761
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:29.360
of coffee and was gone. But
he was He made a huge contract,

762
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.440
signing for a year huge contract.
Remember he didn't, he didn't and then

763
00:49:32.440 --> 00:49:37.119
he did because okay, who's a
better player? Man, that's a tough

764
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:42.199
call for me, not for me. It's gonna well you know where'm gonna

765
00:49:42.239 --> 00:49:45.159
lean im gonna lean with with Caleb. Yeah, but Trier was just one

766
00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:47.559
of those things that he just had
to have the ball. And we know

767
00:49:47.639 --> 00:49:51.880
to he you know, he was
he just wasn't a good teammates. See

768
00:49:51.920 --> 00:49:53.559
I feel but see I feel like
Caleb moves around he you know, he

769
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:57.760
moves the ball does and he does. I think he's a I think he's

770
00:49:57.800 --> 00:50:00.960
a way more complete player and way
more don't do some selfish player then Alonzo

771
00:50:01.000 --> 00:50:05.159
Tree or every one didn't see that
wasn't the question to me. You're I'm

772
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.000
talking about making it, but the
point you say, but you're saying that

773
00:50:08.039 --> 00:50:12.960
he's not gonna make it because he
has to have the ball, he keeps

774
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:15.880
the ball, and I don't.
I don't really agree. We could,

775
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:17.480
we could. We could make a
bed on this one too. We will

776
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:21.440
then, Okay, so I have
two witnesses. You're like on me eight

777
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:23.960
lunches already. Know you owe me
a lot of money from the football season,

778
00:50:24.079 --> 00:50:30.239
right, No, but you owe
me lunch. You ain't gonna eat

779
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:35.039
sixty bucks of the food. Oh
I could speaking up. Did you know

780
00:50:35.119 --> 00:50:38.480
that that? Yeah? I saw
that. I saw that too. Yeah,

781
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:42.519
I saw that just this week,
both to the guys at the double

782
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:45.360
l across the street. Yeah,
it'll be interesting to see if that changes

783
00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:46.760
there. We'll have to go there. We'll take the kids, and you

784
00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:51.320
know whatever, I'm only paying for
you, I'm not paying for Kevin.

785
00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:54.599
Kevin looks like he can bring it. Yeah I can. I can put

786
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:58.400
down some food. He's got game
left side will figure this out. We'll

787
00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:00.440
figure this out. Well, you
know what we do it we for the

788
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:02.159
football pool, basketball pool, if
we have it again, if we did

789
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:06.800
that, Jeff Kings. Okay,
so truck question, the true question,

790
00:51:06.840 --> 00:51:13.079
back to the most Okay, it
was all right. Brian Williams. Yeah,

791
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:17.679
Brian for being could run the court, could throw the ball, could

792
00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:22.920
catch it everything. Yeah, you
know what I'm I can say, but

793
00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:25.000
you never would have gained. I
wouldn't have guessed him because he was here

794
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:29.840
for so short a time. He
doesn't he's not burned into my memory of

795
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:32.320
Arizona basketball teams. And then you
think when he wants to play, he

796
00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:37.119
was unbelievable when he did want to
play. It was the Alabama game.

797
00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:39.800
He was one of the scariest dudes
ever ever had to deal with on in

798
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:44.280
the program because you just have to
look at you because I still I you

799
00:51:44.320 --> 00:51:45.559
know, I've told you this story
a million times of walking into the locker

800
00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:50.159
room after they lost to Alabama in
the in the second round and he's sitting

801
00:51:50.280 --> 00:51:52.320
in a chair and he slumped in
his chair and he's looking at me.

802
00:51:52.320 --> 00:51:54.679
I'm not going over there. Hey, we got a calling over there,

803
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:59.360

on the air and on the ball.

804
00:51:59.400 --> 00:52:02.000

thirty seconds. Okay, hey, Jay,

805
00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:07.599

everything is a okay with the man. You not do that, thanks.

807
00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:19.559
Girls have been playing under adversity all
dang season. Last night they had two

808
00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:22.679

think they had. They were fouled out

809
00:52:22.679 --> 00:52:25.199
